She was still noticeably chilly under the many layers and was later captured in a dressing gown and padded jacket, which are traditionally kept on set for the crew members.

It didn't stop Kate from seeing the funny side nonetheless and she couldn't help but giggle as she, Chloe Sevigny and a male co-star cosied up to water bottles and excess coats.

Still not satisfied with the customs of the 1790s-set motion picture, Kate was seen puffing on a cigarette as an aid helped her light it in shade of the wind.

Chloe, who wore a green parka coat wrapped around her shoulders for extra warmth, and Kate haven't worked together since they filmed The Last Days Of Disco in 1998 and are now reunited for Jane Austin adaptation.

With part of her hair up in vintage bouffant curls, Kate was seen walking to her trailer dressed in a printed long sleeved top, black jogging bottoms and slipper like boots.
